DayPilot Calendar can be used for overnight shift scheduling.

Limiting the hours displayed in a column

The Calendar control is able to show up to 24 hours in a single column. You can limit the actual range using DayBeginsHour and DayEndsHour properties. This way you can show shifts that continue over midnight and end on the following day.

Properties:

• DayBeginsHour
• DayEndsHour

Example:

DayBeginsHour="16"
DayEndsHour="8"

Setting the default view range

In addition to setting the first and last hour of day, it is possible to define the business hours range using BusinessBeginsHour and BusinessEndsHour.

• Business hours will be displayed using a different color (BackColor vs. NonBusinessBackColor properties)
• When used with HeightSpec="BusinessHours" the default display range will be driven by the business hours. It is still possible to use the scrollbar to see the other hours.

Properties:

• BusinessBeginsHour
• BusinessEndsHour
• HeightSpec

Example:

DayBeginsHour="16"
DayEndsHour="8"
BusinessBeginsHour="20"
BusinessEndsHour="5"
HeightSpec="BusinessHours"
